• The policies should include information about:
– the school’s expectations about students’ positive
behaviour towards others in the school, including
when outside school hours and off school grounds
– all school community members’ rights to and
responsibilities for safety and wellbeing
– the school’s role in managing any behaviours that
occur that are not consistent with school policy
– procedures for dealing with critical incidents that
impact on the effective operation of the school or
create a danger or risk to individuals at the school
or on school related activities (i.e. a critical incident
management policy).
• School policies on safety and wellbeing are
communicated to all members of the school community
at regular intervals (e.g. through assemblies, house
meetings, school website, diaries).
• Students have an opportunity to voice issues and
concerns on emerging safety and wellbeing policies
(e.g. use of mobile phones, acceptable use of
technology and uniforms).
• Staff implementation of safety and wellbeing policies is
fair and consistent.
• School regularly audits its obligation to mandatory
legislation and jurisdiction policies on safety and
wellbeing at regular intervals.
• The school maintains easily accessible and current
comprehensive information on aspects of safety and
wellbeing (e.g. road safety, water safety, first aid, sexual
safety, drugs and alcohol and OHS).
